Encounter the Saints: Baking with Brother Andrew
Br. Andrew Corriente, OFM Cap is a Franciscan friar in formation for the priesthood at Capuchin College in Washington, D.C. He was the winner of Season 5 of the “The Great American Baking Show: Holiday Edition” in January 2020. We encourage you to check out writeups about Br. Andrew in the Catholic Standard and the Washingtonian to learn more about this exciting victory and his vocation story.
He is generous with his talent, constantly whipping up treats for his fellow friars and preparing and distributing meals for local day laborers. You can keep up with Br. Andrew's latest culinary creations on Instagram at @thisfriarbakes.
Br. Andrew has provided us three of his recipes, complete with photos, which are linked below. They can be baked in correlation with specific feast days but are tasty year-round! These are great for an afternoon of baking as a family or you can set up your own “Great Parish Bake-off” for a grouping of teens that enjoy the culinary arts. Make sure to post photos on Instagram, tagging @thisfriarbakes and @arlingtonyouth!
